Australian company Oz Autogate, founded in Warwick, Queensland in 1993, manufactures gravity-powered automatic farm gates that open vertically when vehicles drive onto an angled metal plate.
The gate stays vertical for 7 seconds after the weight has left the ramps and closes within 20 seconds damped through the use of a hydraulic arm.
They save time compared with manual gates you have to leave your vehicle to open and are more energy and maintenance efficient compared with electric gates.
Prices start at $2,500 for a 12inch farm gate and $3,600 for deluxe gates suited to residential properties.
